Yeah. Is it enough to put the seventeen game proposal over the top with the players? I doubt it.

I've never understood why teams haven't been allowed to have their entire roster active and available on game day instead of 46 of 53 players.
It's supposedly to level the playing field. If Team A has 53 healthy guys on their active roster and Team B has three guys injured then by having 46 for each side on gameday it eliminates a competitive disadvantage for Team A. Both teams have an equal amount of available players.

The NFL 2020 Combine is officially underway, and things like Tua having two different sized hands and Joe Burrow having small hands are now somehow news.

Wasn't it Bob Utter that had small hands as our QB back in the early 90's. Thought he fumbled quite a bit for us.

The Bears will wait until after free agency and the draft to decide whether or not to pick up the fifth year option on Trubisky's rookie contract.
They'll be looking at competition or maybe even an outright replacement/upgrade over him the next few months.

Well, if the officials aren't going to embrace it and utilize it then there's not much point in keeping it around. I'm glad they gave it a test run but it clearly didn't work out they way they'd hoped.

Sounds like Tua's medical checks at the combine went well. It's hard to see him falling out of the top five now. I think there's virtually no chance of him getting past the Dolphins at five if he even falls that far. I wouldn't be surprised if a team makes a trade with the Lions or Giants to move up for him. I'd watch for the Chargers or Raiders or maybe the Colts to make a move.

With his long lists of injuries...... is it worth the risk of moving up? Glad I'm not a GM. If you pass on him and he gets hurt, you are a hero. If he stays healthy and lights up defenses, then you are a zero. Probably will be the most scrutinized pick in the draft.
I don't know. Doctors spent like nine hours looking him over on Monday. As long as they don't think any of the previous injuries are chronic then he's probably good to go. I do think he needs to be coached up some to learn to avoid putting himself in a position to get blown up, but as far as sheer ability goes I think he's the best QB prospect in the draft and it's not all that close. If it wasn't for the injury history he'd be right there with Burrow in the discussion for the top pick. It wouldn't be like trading up for an unproven player (Trubisky).
It always costs a lot to move up for a QB, but the gamble is well worth it if you're right. I'm sure there's nobody in the KC or Houston organization who regret trading up for their guys.
This was interesting...

Those scores aren't supposed to be made public, and yet scores get leaked every year. I think if I was a prospect I might pass on taking the exam if they can't guarantee the results stay private.
